When Dina Boluarte became vice president, she had never held political office. Now she is the first woman president of a country that is sinking deeper and deeper into a mire of nepotism and bribery. And now she has to fight for her political survival.

At the end of a very turbulent day, Dina Boluarte appeared before the members of Congress in Lima in the middle of last week. The parliamentarians had just fired the president of the South American country after he had tried to dissolve the congress. For this, the head of state ended up in prison, charged with rebellion, and Dina Boluarte appeared before Congress.
